.... after 43 years of association, I have decided to end my membership in the NHRA ......... I have stayed with them through the good times and the bad, but I really can't justify the expense any more ......... too many "cookie cutter" cars (even in the sportsman classes) .............. it has indeed become an organization driven by money, rather than a love for the sport :(:(
I hope you aren't going to dump your models!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've only belonged one year out of the last 30?
I thought this was going to be your divorce report. Which it sort of is, but not from your wife. I can see from your double frowny faces that you have many great memories of all those years. Jerry mentions "models" so probably some mammaries, too. I hope you find another venue that gives you as much satisfaction as your best times with the NHRA.
Yes Nick, I do have great memories ............. I was lucky enough to watch and compete during the "Golden Age" of drag racing (early '60's through the late '70's) .............. and I was also fortunate enough to meet some wonderful people and establish some remarkable friendshipsQuote:

Any hope of the rear engine car being restored also (I wish, I wish) :3dSMILE:;):3dSMILE:Quote:
